Preparing for War

Our goal when gathering our forces is to have one reinforced
division (Prussian brigade) each. We are planning to use the Republic to Empire
rules and we will give you more of our thoughts about this system at a later date.

As the basis for organising our forces we are using the army
builder guide from League of Augsburg for 1814. We are also drawing inspiration
from the actual orders of battle for the campaign around Dresden and Leipzig.
When building our armies we decided that we wanted to have them focused on the
ordinary soldiers and not on the elite units. This is where Republic to Empire
works well. With its unit rating system we can still field interesting and
unique units without resolving to issuing “Guard”-status to regular troops.

We won’t go into the details of constructing a Prussian
brigade for Republic to Empire as the Befreiungskriege blog
has already provided an excellent guide for it. The French infantry division is
much more simple to fit into the Republic to Empire system. For future
reference and to show you the general idea of the army organization and painting
progress for the Prussian brigade and the French division we will post our
Orders of battle, respectively.
